So, a guard caught me stealing and I had 20 charisma with all my clothes, only when I chose the charisma option failed. Why?!?!
Because the game is broken in many ways.
But this, this is beyond… It is very frustrating when I have to deal with imprisonment because the speech stats wouldn’t work…

There are modifiers that are not shown. Like how serious was the crime, reputation and such. 20 vs 10 sounds strange though.

It was in Rattay, this was my first time stealing. So you can expect about 100 rep with guards…
If other modifiers are at play (they are), then the speech scores aren’t reliable. I’d rather the speech scores not display when other factors swamp speech scoring

Yeah warhorse has said sometimes it’s absolutely situational and you can’t always go with the highest skilled option. You gotta actually read the situation and what Henry is going to say carefully

You got any of the perks for dealing with the guards?
The systems in place can be very vague. And there seems to be a serious lack of actual documentation regarding this. So can feel more like just rolling the dice.

Maybe your rep Rattay guards etc was unusually low. I don’t think your rep with them starts at 100. Need to do missions for Bernie. Is this mid game or late game? I guess late game if u have 20 charisma
It was late game… And I saw that I had 100 rep with guards before stealing.
Bugged out then. Unless that Ch 20 armor u stole was the Guards? And he’s pissed! 
I remember tho that the rep drop when you do any bad when u are a saint is pretty big. Maybe he is disgusted such a fine upstanding knight has went bad he don’t care . A crime is a crime even if you is the chosen one!
